Meet
our parrotletboy, Svante. He is a small (15 cm, 30 grams) and
charming little parrot who sometimes thinks he's a human and the boss of
the house. He is fearless and full of undying energy while swinging on
his toys and chewing on anything that he thinks is chewable.

Sometimes he has to show that he is the boss by delivering his special
brand of "parrotlet acupuncture" to the nape of the neck or to the fingers
of anyone who decides to interrupt him in his adventures around the
house.

He is always filling our home with his cheerful parrotlet chatter and
kissing sounds, and is not shy about voicing his opinion on any number
of subjects.
